Total Commander is a file management application that includes built-in FTP support. By creating an FTP connection profile, you can upload, download, and manage files stored on your mybox hosting account directly from your computer.
This configuration only needs to be completed once. After the profile is created, you can reconnect to your hosting account at any time.
